The last primeval forests in Europe
For nature lovers, the Kellerwald-Edersee National Park offers the perfect opportunity to explore protected areas. On 430 hiking tours through the region, you can experience untouched nature up close. The old beech forests are one of the last primeval forests in Europe and have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. In addition to many forest animals, one of Germany's rarest mammal species, the wildcat, also lives here. You can follow its tracks in the depths of the forests. But even if it rarely appears, a visit is worthwhile: In addition to the magical atmosphere, hikers can expect spectacular views.
